For a Windows:

P4 or higher
HP or Dell; HP preferrably
14" - 15.4" screen

For Mac:

Preferrably a Powerbook...but I might be asking too much for that little; TiBook hopefully ?


Let me know ASAP.

I seriously doubt you're going to find anything with those specs for that price. RetroBox's prices are usually rock bottom; here's what they have:

$365 gets you an 800Mhz TiBook with 512MB/60GB/Combo/Airport: Search Available Apple Laptop Inventory in World

$320 gets you a 1.2Ghz P3M (better than a P4 in a laptop!), 512MB/40GB/Combo/wifi: Search Available Laptop Inventory in World

You could pick up a 500mhz ibook by hunting auctions, pick up a cheap combo drive, 40gb drive, a mac-compatible aftermarket wireless dongle, and a 512 stick and you'd be right about $325. It would be an ugly box, but you *could* do it.

900 mhz would require a lot of rabbits foot rubbing.
